Exactly. They couldn't get the guy they wanted (or weren't willing to make a better offer) so they settled for the consolation prize.
Many posters on here before the draft were stating "I hope they don't settle for 2nd best, do what you have to and get your guy" or similar takes. Now a large portion of that cohort are fine with Mr Second Best, and O'Connell is talking him up because he has to sell it to the fan base.
You don’t have to like one guy and hate all other players it’s simply not how it works.
For me I wanted Maye or JJ. Not any of the rest. It was clear imo that KO liked both all off season. Mahomes was 10th best right. How bout Jefferson? There like 500 guys coming each draft to have Maye 1A and the team refusing to trade by the way and getting your 1b plus a guy high on your board in Turner was a coup.
I get it if you don’t like it but don’t sh*t on everybody else parade who happens to like it.
